Can someone please explain to me Donnie's rant on a Jewish journalist?

He's used to being on the defensive when it comes to issues of race, and he leaps to it instinctively. "I'm not racist, okay? I'll rattle off a list of jews I know to prove it."
If the man gave a damn about any of those issues, he would give an appropriate answer.
He never has. -

What does that fckall have to do with my OP?
I'm not.discussing whether Donnie's family members have been threatened or not; I'm not even discussing whether the reporter had correct facts. What I AM discussing is Donnie's abhorrent behavior when the reporter SPECIFICALLY says that neither he, nor anyone he knows, believe Donnie is antisemitic.

If anti-Semitic attacks are increasing, as the reporter states, we should perhaps fear for the vulnerability of Trump's own family. I'm sure Donald cares about themor maybe he doesn't.

I'm sure they'll be fine, as the secret service is protecting them.
But that isn't even the point. This orthodox reporter went out of his way to say that neither he, nor anyone he knows, thinks Donnie is antisemitic, yet that went ignored and Donnie saw his question as an assault on HIM.

Trump is a moron. We all know that. And the rise in anti-Semitic attacks is deeply disturbing. But I just think it's odd that Trump is seen as the most anti-Semitic of Presidents, when he has far more Jewish associations and family members than any previous Commander-in-Chief (Chelsea Clinton got married to Marc Mezvinsky some years after her dad was President). And he also has a very good (maybe too good) a relationship with Israel.

Unless you're saying that the reporter links the uprise in antisemitism to Donnie himself, or him being elected, I don't know where you're going with this.

Well, that seemed to be a partial implication of the reporter.
Why do you think there has been a rise in anti-Semitic attacks? Do you think it has nothing to do with Trump?
Honest question: who are committing these attacks/threats?

Donnie's said some dumb things when it comes to Jews, but I don't believe he's antisemitic. Upticks in Islamaphobia can be traced back to him. Upticks in violence against illigal immigrants can be traced back to him. But AFAIK, the antisemitism increase has nothing to do with him. The reporter went out of his way to say he doesn't believe Donnie is antisemitic, so how could the question have been loaded, implying that Donnie's the cause?
Yeeeeesh. The reporter wanted to know what Donnie's administration is going to do on the topic. But in reading this thread, it seems as tho no Jew can ask him that. Sad.

Really? Hmmmmmmmmm. I guess it's reasonable now to infer just about anything from what someone says.
Just exactly where was this inferred? Its not fair now to ask a POTUS what his administration will do about something? Really?
I mean, jeez, maybe if this question was asked a year from now you'd MAYBE have a point, but seeing as this was probably the first chance the reporter has had to ask the POTUS who just took over almost 4 weeks ago, then no, you don't have a point, nor do you get to infer some nefarious meaning behind a simple question.
